Yellow Edges: F R U R' U' F'

The document provides instructions for solving a Rubik's Cube, including: 1. Making a yellow cross on the top layer, which can be done without regard for side colors. 2. Switching the front and left yellow edge pieces using the algorithm R U R' U R U U R' U. 3. Orienting the yellow corner pieces by holding the cube so the piece to orient is in the front-right-top corner, and doing the R' D' R D algorithm twice or four times until oriented correctly.

Now make a yellow cross on the top of the cube.

It doesnt matter if the pieces are not on their final


places so we dont have to pay attention to the colours of the sides now. Just make a yellow cross
on the top, we will swap them in the next step.
We can get three possible patterns on the top. We can get from one to the other pattern with a single
algorithm as seen on the image: F R U R U F
1. If you have a yellow L shape youll have to apply the algorithm twice, holding
the cube in your hands as seen on the image.
2. In case of a horizontal line you just have to make the permutation once.

5. Yellow edges

Yellow edges done

Switch the edges


After making the yellow cross on the top of the cube you have to put the yellow edge pieces on their
right places where they belong. Switch the front and left yellow edges with the following algorithm:
R U R U R U U R U
There are situations when you have to apply this algorithm more than once.

6. Yellow corners on their places

Switch three corner pieces


Only the last layer corner pieces left. First we have to get them to the right spot, so dont worry about
the orientation in this step.
Find a piece which is already on the right place, move it to the right-front-top corner then apply the
following algorithm to switch (rotate) the three wrong pieces:
U R U L U R U L
Do this twice to do an inverse rotation of the pieces. If none of the yellow corners is on the right
place then do the algorithm once so one of them will go to the right spot.
Read more about this algorithm.

7. Orient Yellow corners

The cube is solved

Orient the corner pieces


Now all the pieces are on their right places you just have to orient the yellow corner pieces.
Hold the cube in your hand so the piece you want to orient is on the front-right-top corner, than to
the R D R D algorithm twice or four times until that specific piece is oriented well. It seems like
you messed up the whole cube but dont worry, it will be all right when all the corner pieces are
oriented.

After that with a U turn move an other yellow piece you want to orient to the front-right-top corner of
the cube and doR D R D again while this specific piece is ok. Be careful not to move the two
bottom layers between the algorithms.
